Beijing approved a building plan for Daxing International Airport Economic Zone on Thursday, which specifies the development plan for a 50-square-kilometer area. The Beijing part of the entire economic zone spans 497 square kilometers.

According to the plan, the airport economic zone will soon begin to construct its international convention center and international aviation communities on an area of 20.8 square kilometers. It also plans to invest approximately 100 billion yuan (US$15.29 billion) in land development, infrastructures, and other major projects in the next three to five years.

The area will develop aviation logistics, technological innovation, and high-end services in the future, and will set up two functional districts, three ecological landscape spots, and 15 blocks, according to the plan.

During the 14th Five-year Plan period (2021-2025), the area aims to build the Beijing No. 4 Experimental School, start the construction of four kindergartens, two elementary schools, and three secondary schools, and introduce an international school. It also plans to build a top-level hospital, several specialized hospitals, a community health center, two rehabilitation centers for the disabled, and two nursing homes.

For transportation, it will develop a transportation network integrating rail transits, highways, urban roads, and pedestrian footpaths. The network will connect blocks in the zone, allow people in the area to reach Xiong'an and Beijing's sub-center within 30 minutes, and reach the municipality's downtown area in an hour.
